England Australia ODI: In the fourth ODI played against England at Lord's, Australia had to face a crushing defeat of 186 runs. With this defeat, a shameful record was added to the name of Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc. He gave 28 runs in the last over of England's innings and became the bowler who bowled the most expensive over in Australia's ODI history. The reason for this record was the explosive batting of English batsman Liam Livingstone. Livingstone hit 4 sixes and 1 four to Starc in this over.
Earlier, the record of bowling the most expensive over for Australia was in the name of Xavier Doherty. He gave 26 runs in one over against India in 2013. Whereas Cameron Green and Adam Zampa have also given 26-26 runs in one over. Now this record has been added to the name of Mitchell Starc, which he recorded against England at Lord's ground, which is called the Mecca of cricket.
